Preparing for Gauge Installation

I am looking to install a boost gauge and oil pressure gauge in the near future. I have a general Idea of what brand and what mounting options I will go with. But I am looking to get some technical support and opinions on my approach.

I guess that leaves the wiring. In addition to power, I would like the back light to come on when I turn on my head lights. I am aware that this can be done with the wires that tie into the "ciggarette lighter" port. Which wires (color?) would I need to tap into / splice and what would be the recommend method to do this? (Connectors, vampire clips, etc...).

*Note: This is a TR, so the center console/panels are slightly different from standard WRX, but lower panel can be removed and access to ciggarette lighter wiring is easy (ish).
